DEAD laid to rest


Yesterday I finished writing the script to EVERYBODY'S DEAD # 5. It's been over ten years working on these characters and to finally reach the end of their first story feels wonderful. I owe it all to Mr. Chris Ryall. The fact that Dave Crosland and Len O'Grady provide such wonderful pencils, inks and colors makes the decade+ wait so worth it.

Of course, their story isn't over, and if the planets align, we will get a sequel. Keep'em crossed!

Very nice, the cover looks even better with color. ED has been a lot of fun to read so far, and it would be great to see it have another series.

Based on the first two issues alone I hope there is a sequel, or perhaps even many sequels. Some of the sharpest, funniest writing I've seen in quite a while.

Congratulations, Sir.

Big congrats on getting this done. I know what it's like to work on a project for years, so I'm thrilled for you that you've gotten this completed.

I'm very much looking forward to reading the rest of this series. It feels like it's been so long since #2! Any word on the release date of #3, so I can know when to re-read the first two issues?

And as far as sequels... if it's a sales thing, let the PTB know that sales will *not* be a problem. I'll keep buying as long as you keep writing, and I'm working on getting my buddies to read "Everybody's Dead." Hell, they're not much different than the characters, so I'm sure they'd enjoy.

At work, we have the trailer for the movie before Harold and Kumar called COLLEGE, which is about some high school students that go on a trip to a COLLEGE and see alot of hot COLLEGE babes and lie and say they're COLLEGE students... But oh no! The evil COLLEGE frat guys they're staying with make them do COLLEGE pledge duties so otherwise they'll tell the hot COLLEGE babes that they're really in HIGH SCHOOL! OHH SNAP!

Everytime I see this terrible trailer, and even more when I hear people laugh at it, I wonder why oh why there is no Everybody's Dead movie. Not just because Lynch rocks and the comic is fantastic, but just as something about college and fraternities that actually has some original and unique ideas. Oh, I think I just answered my own question.
